I fixed it

Also, this new Kadavar albums is really damn good and same with the new Pentagram, Raven and Maiden. (It's funny exactly how some of you feel that the new Maiden is overhyped is how I felt with the last Judas Priest). There is others but that's off the top of my head

I'm not convinced that 5 good albums have been released in the last 5 years, in any genre.

That's not true at all.

Totally agree, but ToB has always been very picky and seems to dislike a lot more than he likes. That's just his opinion. Gotta say that it drives me nuts because I enjoy so much stuff and I find it perplexing that another fan of rock/metal can't find enjoyment or some redeeming quality in a lot of stuff, but again, it's ToB's opinion and I've come to just understand that is his personality and tastes.

The only ones I can recall enjoying much are EXOCOSM, VEXOVOID, and the CAULDRON BORN EP. Some others may have a good song or two, like the latest EXODUS but after hearing them all the way through once or twice I didn't really want to hear it again. Maybe I'm forgetting some releases but looking at everyone's lists I don't think so.

2010 - Accept, Blood of the Nations
2011 - Anthrax, Worship Music
2012 - KISS, Monster / Accept - Stalingrad (tie)
2013 - Stryper, No More Hell to Pay / Newsted, Heavy Metal Music (tie)
2014 - Overkill, White Devil Armory

...of course 2015's not quite over yet but right now Raven's ExtermiNation and Queensryche's Condition Human are neck and neck for the top spot. There are still several new releases (Stryper, Ugly Kid Joe, Motorhead, W.A.S.P.) that I have yet to hear in their entirety.

2010: #1 "Relentless Retribution" (Death Angel)
#2 "Come Around Sundown" (Kings of Leon)
#3 "Ironbound" (OverKill)
#4 "Blood of the Nations" (Accept)
#5 "Warp Riders" (The Sword)

2011: #1 "Th1rt3en" (Megadeth)
#2 "Worship Music" (Anthrax)
#3 "Dystopia" (Iced Earth)
#4 "All You Need Is Now" (Duran Duran)
#5 "This Is Gonna Hurt" (SiXX A.M)

2012: #1 "A Different Kind of Truth" (Van Halen)
#2 "Corrosion of Conformity" (Corrosion of Conformity)
#3 "Strangeland" (Keane)
#4 "Havoc & Bright Lights" (Alanis Morissette)
#5 "Stalingrad" (Accept)

2013: #1 "The Dream Calls For Blood" (Death Angel)
#2 "Aftershock" (Motörhead)
#3 "Mechanical Bull" (Kings of Leon)
#4 "Comedown Machine" (The Strokes)
#5 "The Devil Put the Dinosaurs Here" (Alice In Chains)

2014: I just haven't listened to enough from last year to even make a correct assessment on this.
